Hi there. I had just found this list not long ago after googling around to
see what the current state of blind people flying with MS Flight Simulator
was since I understand that FSNavigator was shut down shortly after some
initial demos were posted on Blind cool tech. I ended up finding some of the
demo files with IYP  from the various forum posts that are out there., and
I'm interested in getting this set up. I still have XP on my machine yet. I
use Jaws for my screen reader. How would I get through the speech
recognition trai without sighted help? Would NVDA or something work better
to get over this hurgle? Also, since all the demos I dug up were using
FS2002 or 2004, how will things work with FSX, which is what I assume is the
only legally available version of flight sim sold now? I heard on some
messages that Jaws won't speak with it, and others that do if one escapes
the first flight they put you in on first start. I figured I would ask first
before I put a bunch of money down on something that won't work on my
system.

Thanks.
